oo1 - Apologies.

[tashigi]

I'm very sorry I haven't been around much... I've been trying to catch up on some things. Such as my training and attempting to try and get through the paperwork and research done on the island we're on... I apologize to anyone who's been affected by my absence.

However, if need be, I'm still willing to train anyone who's interested in learning how to handle a sword, I hear there may be some meitous on this island, so if anyone would like to join me for a while looking for them, they are welcome.

... I believe that is all.

I know Tashigi. I know. It's not your fault. She just... is that way sometimes. And I do know why you'd miss her, I do. I just didn't want you to get addicted to something over that. If you start smoking every time you miss her you'll never stop and yes, I'm the last person who will people not to smoke but I expect better of you. You've always put your health first and I'd hate to see that ruined just because she's being an idiot.

I know sir. I...
T-thank you.


...On a different note, how are your gloves holding up, sir?

Re: Private

[justicereigns]

Yes well, you're your own woman. I'm sure you've weighed all the risks and benefits but don't blame me for wanting better of you. You get on my case when I drink too much I'm going to surprised when you switch to something harder.

Torn in a fight with pirates. Tsk. I'll have to find a pair in town but you know how particular I am. For the time being I'm just living with the rip.

Re: Private

[swordsofjustice.livejournal.com]

I do drink harder things on occasion, sir. Just not when you are around.

... I see. Well, where did you get those made again?

Re: Private

[justicereigns]

..... Fair enough as I have a tendency to do the same. Just don't do anything foolish with it.

Loguetown. But it's too much hassle to contact Daddy the Father and have him try to send another pair.

Aw shit. What do I get Carol?

Re: Private

[swordsofjustice.livejournal.com]

Sir, you should know this by now. If I drink, it's not to get drunk. I have a few glasses and then am done when I'm bordering tipsy. Even when around you.

Hm. I see.

...!

Would you like me to pick something up for her while you're gone? I may have an idea and perhaps something already set aside for her.

Re: Private

[justicereigns]

Good. I can't say the same of myself.

Er... well yes actually, if it's not too much trouble. Just tell me how much you need or I can just give you access to my account for the day if you'd like.

Re: Private

[swordsofjustice.livejournal.com]

I know, sir. I know.

Good, sir. I'll show you it before I send it off, or I may put a picture up while you're gone.

Re: Private

[justicereigns]

... One of these days I owe you an apology for that.

Alright thank you Tashigi.

Re: Private

[swordsofjustice.livejournal.com]

... Why?

You're welcome, sir. I ... perhaps have picked up something for Carol a while back. I just need to find the case I put it in.

Re: Private

[justicereigns]

... Did you see my post last night?

Hah! I should have know. Always on top of things. Got a picture?

Re: Private

[swordsofjustice.livejournal.com]

Not yet... Is there something I should be looking at, sir?

... I do.



...

I thought of getting it for her, because what little girl doesn't like tea parties and it... it's quite stunning.

Re: Private

[justicereigns]

No.

I'll have to take your word on these kinds of things. Garp gave me a rather deep loathing of tea but if you think she'll enjoy it that's good.

Re: Private

[swordsofjustice.livejournal.com]

Sir, I'd say I was ashamed of you for that post... But, I was drinking myself while that whole thing was happening. So I cannot say anything.

Smoker-san, you can't deny it's still beautiful.

Re: Private

[justicereigns]

... Ensign. Hn. I've been trying to get ahold of Karen and... I'm not going to deny that was a low point but I don't regret it. Please do not do so on my behalf. However I will try to be an officer you can be more proud of in the future.

If you say so. I guess I prefer white things.

Re: Private

[swordsofjustice.livejournal.com]

Sir, I understand that. And I'm not. We've discussed this already. And sir, you're always an officer I will be proud of. Sir, there isn't much you can do to change that.

Hm. I see.

... I've figured out what to get you.

Re: Private

[justicereigns]

... Thank you Tashigi.

You don't have to get me anything.

Re: Private

[swordsofjustice.livejournal.com]

We've also gone through this before as well. Sir, you'll allow me to get you something, if I allow you to get me something. If not, we won't get anything for each other. It's the only way I'll allow you to get out of this.

But in the mean time, perhaps you can help me pick out something for Zenigata-san...? You two are a lot alike. So, you are my best bet in getting something he'd be able to use.

Re: Private

[justicereigns]

I was just going to get him cigarettes but maybe a replacement hat? See if you can get a hold of Bogart.

Or ask him.

Re: Private

[swordsofjustice.livejournal.com]

Hm. Interesting.

... Hm. I may have an idea.

What about everyone else?

Re: Private

[justicereigns]

Jeez you're good at this.

I'm completely at a loss for Allen. And I need to get him two presents. Bookman er Lavi I mean, I'm getting a parrot. It's a long story. I'm not sure what to get Miranda either. Nataku I got a dog. Rinali, Hina, Robin, and Karen I also got presents for. Reborn is the trickiest in my experience.

And I got a book of fairy tales for Orpherus but I was hoping to bring Elphaba's when I go except originally I was going to ask Karen's help and now...

Re: Private

[swordsofjustice.livejournal.com]

Hm.

Allen. Hm. ... Perhaps you can get him some sort of ornamental weapon? Perhaps a dagger or a replica-gun?

And Reborn? Fine wine, it's simple and easy. I suggest something old and definitely red. Or another ornamental weapon?

... Miranda, should be easy. Perhaps a Log pose, one of the ones that are nearly unbreakable, like the one you got me. But something a bit more unique?

... I'm not sure on anyone else.

Re: Private

[justicereigns]

You think so?

I was thinking wine. He uses Leon for his weapon so I'm not sure about another one.

... Oh... that is a really good idea! Damn it you're good at this.

Well I guess I could pick up some apple oils for Elphaba but Karen makes them so originally I was going to ask her help for it. Whatever.

Re: Private

[swordsofjustice.livejournal.com]

I definitely think so.

Well, the point of an ornamental weapon, sir. Is to be shown, not used. It's mostly a show piece.

Sir, I've had four years of experience on buying one of the most hardest people in the world presents, I have to be good.

Hm. Perhaps you could pick up a glass oil burner to go along with a small set of burning oils?

Re: Private

[justicereigns]

Can I get your help picking both of those out? Since you know swords and daggers so well.

I'll take that as a compliment.

Ah they're not burning oils, they're bath oils. Elphaba is allergic to water.
